Don't forget the BIGGEST factor- the economic edge. Your construction cost, build time, and maintenance will be reduced because a portion of your designs require organics (and less minerals).

Not really. Minerals are still largely required even with Organic Manipulation.

The standard planet facilities use mostly minerals in the standard game, so those costs are the same for all.

But, when you're building LC's with a couple shields, lots of organic armor, and organic weapons, the effect on build time is very distinct.

That's right. Although minerals are still required you can save time/maintenace significantly with many designs.

Example-organic troops & fighters - you can build twice as many as usual.

And don't knock the overall maintanance reduction if you are using organic components- it is subtle, but helpful.
